It is Insane to Me that Spider-Noir Exists, But Here We Are
Welp, there’s no going back now. They really have made a whole TV show in which Nicholas Cage stars as Spider-Man Noir in a black and white, semi-serious noir thriller on Amazon. Jeez Louise, people.
I don’t know how to react. I don’t know what to think about it. The show exists. Someone made it. They seem to have done an alright job of it? I can’t really even tell. I don’t even know if he has spider-powers. Cage did a fine job in the Spider-Verse movies voicing a cartoon character…is this even the same character?!
I guess we’re all just gonna have to watch the show and find out…
Spider-Noir comes to Amazon Prime on May 27, in both black and white and color.
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/31/26
Between my last reviews and this one, we had a snow storm and it sucked and my world is buried in snow these days in the northeast. I can handle the bitter, negative temperatures. It’s having to move all this snow that really stinks. But at least we’ve got enjoyable comics, like a new Iron Man and an absolutely stellar Absolute Wonder Woman.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Batman #16 for an insanely good crossover with Absolute Wonder Woman, though her solo issue gave this a run for its money in terms of quality.
Meanwhile, I binged and enjoyed Wonder Man this past week. Debating whether or not to do a review. I don’t know if I have much to say about the series, other than it’s good and I enjoyed it and everybody should watch. Beyond that, started watching A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and that’s fun. And I’m still taking my time through Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. So I’ve got good stuff going all around.
Comic Reviews: Absolute Batman #16, Absolute Wonder Woman #16, Iron Man #1, Absolute Martian Manhunter #8 and Power Rangers Prime #14.
Read the rest of this entryOur First Look at the Second Season of Daredevil: Born Again!
To perhaps celebrate the entire first season of Wonder Man arriving on Disney+, we also got the first ever trailer for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again. I enjoyed the first season, I enjoyed the Netflix seasons, and I can’t wait for this new season!
Looks good to me. Action, adventure, romance, fun music cues, the return of Jessica Jones; this season will have everything! And this season will be especially good because it’s made by the second creative team. The first season was apparently notoriously bad, and they brought in a second creative team halfway through to try to rebuild what was already filmed and add new material. Now the second season will be made completely by this second creative team. That should be a good sign.
Daredevil: Born Again returns to Disney+ on March 24.
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 1/24/26
Busy times are taking their toll and I just didn’t make or find enough time to read too many comics this week. But then also, my list of comics is always shrinking. I need to fix that. Anyway, it’s a toss up between Captain America and Wonder Woman this week.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Captain America #6 because it is just a slightly more interesting story launch.
Meanwhile, I finished a new read through of Gotham Central, and it was as great as always. And I’m still working my way through Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora as a game, without seeing that third movie! I gotta work on that too. Beyond that, I’m enjoying Fallout, liked the first episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and am looking forward to Wonder Man on Tuesday.
Comic Reviews: Captain America #6 and Wonder Woman #29.

I’m not ashamed of the fact that I’m a Marvel Zombie. I love Marvel. I’ve loved pretty much every project they’ve put out since Endgame. I’m definitely looking forward to Avengers: Doomsday in December. And these trailers are proving to be a winning strategy.
That’s just fun. Seeing characters interact is going to be one of the great joys of Doomsday, and here we get a taste of it. And it’s a great taste! Bring on the fun character interactions! Bring on more of these teasers!
Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters next December.
